On-Vehicle Inspection [12/2019 - 10/2022]: Procedure
- CHECK TRANSFER OIL
- Stop the vehicle on a level surface.
- Using a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and 10 x 12 mm long offset wrench, remove the transfer filler plug and gasket from the transfer assembly.
- Check that the oil level is between 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.197 in.) from the bottom lip of the transfer filler plug hole.
If the result is not as specified, add transfer oil.
Oil Type
Toyota genuine differential gear oil LX
NOTE:- Using transfer oil other than the specified oil may cause abnormal noise or vibration, or damage the transfer of the vehicle.
- When adding transfer oil, pour it slowly.
- Too much or too little transfer oil will lead to transfer problems.
*a 0 to 5 mm (0 to 0.197 in.) - If the oil level is low, refill transfer oil after checking for oil leaks.
- Using SST, a 10 mm straight hexagon wrench and 10 mm union nut wrench, install the transfer filler plug and a new gasket to the transfer assembly.
*a 10 mm Straight Hexagon Wrench *b 10 mm Union Nut Wrench *c Torque Wrench Fulcrum Length - SST: 09961-00950
Specified tightening torque
Torque: 39 N.m (398 kgf/cm, 29 ft.lbf)
HINT:
- Calculate the torque wrench reading when changing the fulcrum length of the torque wrench.
Refer to PRECAUTION [12/2019 - 11/2023]
- When using a 10 mm union nut wrench (fulcrum length of 22 mm (0.866 in.)) + SST (fulcrum length of 150 mm (5.91 in.)) + torque wrench (fulcrum length of 180 mm (7.09 in.)): 19.9 N.m (203 kgf/cm, 15 ft.lbf)
- INSPECT FOR TRANSFER OIL LEAK
